So you want to improve your results at your Bridge Club

  • Bridge is a partnership game – try and play with a regular partner.
  • Ask your regular partner to agree to work together to get better.
  • Find a stronger player at your Club who will answer questions.
  • Each time you play with your regular partner, try to pick out a hand and work through it afterwards: the bidding, the play, the defence… over a cup of tea. Come up with a serious question or two to ask your ‘stronger player’.
